QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Buzzer:
Now I am getting older 70 later this year I am not sure how much longer I can pass an annual medical for my LGV licence, if I give it up will I still be able to drive a 7.5 ton truck on my ordinary car license or have the rules changed in that respect, on my current card license it does say that I am entitled until 2021 to drive class C1E which is up to 12000kgs train weight (7.5ton + trailer) but after this date I think is when I have to re apply for all classes of driving license including my car classification does any one know, cheers Buzzer.

Your “grandfather rights” to drive 7.5 tonne lorries will indeed expire on your 70th birthday, as will your car (and motorcycle, if you have it) entitlements. Renewing your car entitlement only requires you to confirm you are fit and meet the (car) eyesight requirements, but if you want to renew your 7.5T entitlement, you’ll need a D4 medical (and to meet the higher LGV eyesight standard).
